Public Talks and Professional Trainings

I offer virtual and in-person (when possible) talks for a variety of audiences, including high school and college students, parent groups, professional audiences (e.g., researchers, therapists, educators, sexual violence prevention specialists), and corporations.

I speak on a variety of topics that I’ve published research on, including:

Sexting, digital safety, and image-based sexual abuse (formerly called “revenge porn”)

Healthy friendships, consent, and boundary setting

How to become a more askable parent

10 Sex talks to have with your teen (or young adult child)

The rise of rough sex and what it means for sexual assault prevention

Pornography and what teenagers and young adults learn from it

Sexual trends in the United States

Healthy relationships at every age

Dating and sexuality education for autistic tweens, teens, and young adults

Talks will be tailored to your group’s interests and are usually 45-60 minutes, with additional time for Q&A or discussion, but can be adjusted to meet an organization’s needs. I’m especially passionate about speaking with parents of kids of all ages.
